Something more [a Roman Reigns story]

19 Making plans

"Okay, I'm ready. You coming?" I asked Ro as I stepped into the living room where he was sitting on the couch playing on his phone. He looked up at me and smirked.

"Damn, Muffin. You look smoking hot. I'm not sure I can let you out of the house like that." he said, slowly licking his lips.

When he said that I looked down at myself confused. I had no idea what he meant when he said I looked 'hot'. After all, I was only wearing jeans and a plain white tank top. Completed by a pair of stud earrings and the necklace he had given me for my birthday a few years ago.

"What do you mean by hot, Mister? I'm dressed normally. We're going to your sister's birthday brunch, not on a date. Do you think I should wear something else?" I replied. Did I look inappropriate for a family gathering?

"Calm down. I just said you looked hot. Those jeans, though. Boy! They are hugging you in all the right places. I don't know if I even want to go there anymore."  he murmured as he rose and came over to me.

"Thanks for the compliment, but let me tell you. Your jeans... they do it for me too. You should walk in front of me all day so I can stare at your ass without restraint." I smirked and reached for said ass.

"I wouldn't mind, but your plan has a flaw. That way I wouldn't have a chance to look at your sexy ass," he replied while grabbing my butt.

"It looks like we're going to tease each other. But now let's go before we're even later than we already are," I said, stretching to give him a quick kiss.

"You just love torturing me, don't you?" he asked as he looked after me.

"Maybe, but trust me, you torture me just as much. Probably even more. I'm on the verge of a heart attack after every one of your matches. You're too damn sexy. And every one of your fans will agree with me," I said as I returned with the gift basket I had put together for his sister.

Carefully Roman took the heavy basket from my hands and carried it himself. In the basket were a bottle of wine, a candle, body lotion, bubble bath, a body scrub and a few other odds and ends for a day of self-care. I thought to myself that any woman would probably be happy to receive something like this.

"We'll have that conversation later, muffin. Mom gets mad when we're late." said Roman as we headed out to the car.

The drive didn't take long, but it looked like we were actually the last ones to arrive.

"There you guys finally are! Why are you so late?" his mother asked as soon as we entered the house.

"It was his fault," I replied with a laugh, turning my head in Roman's direction.

"That's not true at all!" said Roman with mock dismay. He dramatically placed a hand on his chest for emphasis.

"It's true, drama queen," I replied, sticking my tongue out at him.

"You two are acting like teenagers. It's kind of cute." muttered Pat and then we could finally greet the rest of the family.

It was really a nice day with the whole family. I really enjoyed spending time with them, although with such a large family it was often quite hectic and noisy.

"So when are you guys finally catching up on the wedding for us?" asked Summer at one point.

"Oh um, we honestly haven't thought about it yet," I replied.

"Well then you guys should do it! After all, it wasn't fair to just do it without us." she whined.

I knew exactly what she was up to. She tried to make us feel guilty. And it worked. At least it did for me.

"I promise you, we will do it as soon as we can." I promised her.

She seemed satisfied with that answer and dropped the subject at least for now. I just wasn't sure for how long. No one here was known for their patience.

A while later, I had Roman's cousin's baby son in my arms when Roman sat down next to me and looked at me dreamily.

"You know, Muffin, that baby really suits you," he whispered to me.

"Yeah? And what does that mean?" I asked, smiling.

"It means I can't wait until we have one of our own." he replied, looking deep into my eyes.

"I'm sure it won't take you long to do that if we go for it." I whispered back and wetting my lips.

"Are you saying you want to try?" he wanted to know quietly.

"I mean, I love you. And if you're ready for it, then so am I. All you have to do is say it and I'll stop taking the pill." I replied softly, watching his eyes begin to sparkle.

"I love you so much, Y/N. And I think we will make the best looking kids in the whole world together." Roman murmured.

"Baby, it's not a contest." I laughed.

"No. It's still the truth though." replied and gave me a kiss.
